<p>Thank you Ron and Steve,</p>
<p> I'm really not trying to be the forum police. I just know from past experience that forum etiquette isn't taught in school or anywhere else, for that matter. We either pick it up by pissing off people until we figure it out why they are upset OR someone takes the time to explain things to us. It's unfair for any of us to expect others to understand why we don't like any given activity If we don't communicate the "hows and whys" of things and there is almost…</p>

We either pick it up by pissing off people until we figure it out why they are upset OR someone takes the time to explain things to us. It's unfair for any of us to expect others to understand why we don't like any given activity If we don't communicate the "hows and whys" of things and there is almost no chance of coming to agreement about how to proceed without this communication. My intention was to present the "hows and whys" so that it is easier for you, Ron, or anyone else, to understand why adding new comments to inactive threads could be an issue for some, if not most, of us. </p>

<p>Your right. It's just that there have been many posts as of late that seemed to be heading that way. Sorry.</p>

<p>Yes, Ron. It's gone on long enough. I don't think it's a waste of time if I can help you understand why many of us object to placing comments on long inactive threads. I hoped that an explanation of how it works and why this appears to bother many of is would help you understand why this keeps coming up. I had hoped that spending time on it now would avoid spending time on it later. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for listening.</p>

<p>Hi Thomas</p>
<p>I acknowledge your right to hold opinions that differs from what I hold. Please allow me the right to hold opinions that are in disagreement with opinions you hold. We can't agree on everything, what would we talk about?</p>
<p></p>
<p>The target of your objection is part of an exchange between two forum members on ideas about the purpose and use of inactive threads on a forum. In essence you're objecting to personal views that I posted in a personal conversation in which , before this point, you had no involvement. You don't need my permission to take part in an open forum which, of course, includes this thread but it would be nice of you were a bit more careful of your assertions until you have your facts clear. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I believe that it would be very hard to support your inference that I'm trying to play "Moderator of this forum" if you read my first post on page 2. If you read it, you will find that I never mentioned or even inferred that I represented anyone other than myself. A particular quote from that post should make this abundantly easy to see this fact;</p>
<blockquote><p><span>...I would appreciate it if you could refrain from posting comments on them.</span></p>
<p></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Please note that "I" made a personal request of Ron and did not act in any way that is not fitting of a forum member nor did I acted in a manner that would infer any authority other than what any other member of this forum holds. I did not threaten or imply retribution in any sense in my post. My position then and now is that Ron is worthy of my respect. I can only assume that you did not, in fact, read this post which, I hope, explains why you inferred that I attempted to use authority that is not mine when it is actually very clear that I didn't attempt to use any "authority" except what is available to all of my fellow forum member. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, with your permission, may we continue with our previously scheduled programming?</p>

<p>My thoughts are that Frank is the moderator of this forum. There have been many posts instructing folks what and how to post here? IMHO - Not your call.</p>
